    Thank you in advance
    Post #56 has clean ME firmware and is a good bios to use, just need to add your serial to that bios and change the fsys checksum.

      I did everything like in the video and unfortunately the firmware does not want to be uploaded, an error appears during verification in the programming program

            Unfortunately, after soldering the chip, the MacBook does not turn on and shows no signs of life, I only noticed that the disk heats up terribly

              The disk meaning the bios chip ? , is the replacement chip the same voltage at the old one

                        sorry that I've missed my introduction for new board members. Would someone please be so kind, to have a look on the locked EFI/BIOS (... and unlock it)?
